Chapter 12 Opportunities to Fight for on Your Own
It was a sleepless night, and when I heard that I was going to meet the MiG-21MF and MiG-23MS, everyone in the entire delegation was quite excited.
Qin Feng was lying on the bed, blowing the air conditioner, and his mood was also very complicated.
In aviation magazines, Qin Feng learned about these two fighters, although they were written by folk writers, they still have great reference value, especially those black and white illustrations, which constantly appeared in Qin Feng's mind.
Also, due to the jet lag, it's hard to fall asleep right now.
The next day, as soon as it was dawn, the group had already finished breakfast, and they couldn't wait.
"Did you sleep well yesterday?" Elder Song asked Qin Feng.
Qin Feng nodded: "We are energetic now, Old Song, let's go today, is it possible to fly once?" ”
As a pilot, of course, he loves to fly, since the last time the plane returned, Qin Feng has not touched the steering stick, now, to receive their fighter, do you want to fly first?
Looking at Qin Feng's expectant gaze, Song Lao said: "It depends on the situation, we have to obey discipline and listen to the arrangement. ”
"Drip, drip." At this moment, the sound of a car horn sounded outside, and Ambassador Yao said to the people who had just finished eating: "Okay, the car that picked us up is here, everyone remembers the discipline I said yesterday, let's go now." ”
The restaurant was on the first floor, and when Qin Feng walked out, he saw the car sent by the Egyptian military in the blazing sun.
Not a military vehicle for the troops, a completely civilian vehicle.
The car in front of it is a common Egyptian taxi with yellow and black paint, this car did not turn off, and as the engine was running, the entire front hood was constantly vibrating, as if it would fall off at the next moment.
This car, to say the least, is it more than ten years old?
Don't look at this as a small car, however, the ride experience will definitely not be good, I'm afraid it's not as reassuring as the domestic 212.
The one in the back looks much better.
A Volkswagen T1 classic van, with its round head, looks very cute, the headlights are like two big eyes, and the words "Egypt Tourism" are sprayed on the side of the body.
"It's a pleasure to pick you up." At this time, an Egyptian officer who came to greet him said: "I am Colonel Mustafa, and now we will go to the Beni Suef airbase, about 200 kilometers from Cairo. ”
At this time, Colonel Mustafa was also wearing civilian clothes, including the two drivers in front and rear, and they were also exactly the same in civilian clothes, but looking at the sharp eyes, he should know that he was in the active army.
"Let's go, everybody get in the car." Director Tang shouted, and everyone walked towards the van behind.
Or the back looks spacious and bright.
Never underestimate Wuling Hongguang because you don't know how many people can get out of the car. The van can pull people and carry goods, and it is definitely a good helper for farmer friends and businessmen who have just started their business.
This is just the van of later generations, and the current van is not positioned to pull people and goods, mainly for travel and camping.
This van is quite spacious inside, everyone goes up together, squeezes it, and it is enough to sit.
When you look up, you can see that the top is still glass, which is simply a skylight.
Qin Feng was the last to get into the car, these are all leaders, and they have to be asked to get on first.
Therefore, when Qin Feng walked up, he saw that the car was almost full.
"I'd better take the one in front." Qin Feng said.
Although the car in front of it looked shabby, it was a sedan after all. Since the leaders are willing to take the tourist van, they should get into the car.
When Qin Feng opened the door of the car, he was immediately overjoyed, it turned out that it was deceptive to look so shabby on the outside, but it looked like he was really enjoying it, this leather seat was simply the leader's car.
"Sit down, we're going to drive." Colonel Mustafa got into the car, sat next to Qin Feng, and said to Qin Feng in fluent English.
After speaking, he was afraid that Qin Feng would not understand, so he made two more gestures, who knows, Qin Feng has already answered fluently in English: "Okay, no problem." ”
Qin Feng speaks English.
In China, most people can speak, read, and write Chinese, and they already have a high level of education, and if they can go to high school and learn foreign languages, the first choice is Russian, after all, the Soviet Union was the big brother.
However, Qin Feng happened to learn English, and during that turbulent time, Qin Feng quietly tinkered with his ore radio, listened to the foreign language pronunciation of the standard radio station inside, and studied very seriously.
Why study English?
Because Qin Feng wanted to study aviation knowledge, the domestic magazines could not satisfy him, and when he flipped through the magazines and literature in the library of the aviation school, many of them were in English.
Therefore, he must be able to speak English, and after a few years, he is also extremely fluent in English.
Mustafa is Egyptian, the original indigenous language is Arabic, and because it was once colonized, many people in Egypt still speak English and French.
Arabic, which the guests could not understand, this Mustafa greeted in English and was able to communicate fluently.
Listening to Qin Feng's words, Mustafa was very strange, such a young man, is he a technician or a translator?
"Engineer? Translator? "Sitting in the car, it's idle and bored anyway, so the two of them just chat.
Yesterday, Ambassador Yao once again stressed to the delegation the importance and confidentiality of the mission, asking him to have little or no contact with people and things that are not related to his work, but Colonel Mustafa, who was the head of the Egyptian side of the exchange and was also the colonel of the flying regiment at Beni Suef Air Base, was not an irrelevant person.
"Pilot." Qin Feng said.
Hearing Qin Feng say this, Colonel Mustafa suddenly became energetic, go along.
"What plane are you flying now? MiG-19? Or MiG-21? Colonel Mustafa asked.
In their eyes, domestic aircraft, that are all imitations of the Soviet Union, so, when they say it, they also say that the Soviet Union corresponds to the model, J-6 corresponds to the MiG-19, and J-7 corresponds to the MiG-21.
"MiG-21." Qin Feng followed the customs of the locals, and simply said it according to their understanding.
"MiG-21? Great, I also flew the MiG-21 for five years, and now I fly the MiG-23." Colonel Mustafa said: "Your MiG-21 is just an early model, right? "We are now equipped with the MiG-21MF, which is already the third generation of the MiG-21 facelift, and the performance is very different from the original," Mustafa said. ”
MiG-21, as an evergreen tree of military aircraft, has a lot of facelifts during its long life, Mustafa said this, and Qin Feng didn't know how to answer.
After all, the J-7II that I am flying now is a kind of overhaul of the J-7, but it is difficult to say how to correspond to the MiG-21.
Scratching his head, Qin Feng couldn't help but think of something: "I haven't flown the MiG-21MF either, I don't know how it feels to fly this kind of aircraft." ”
"That's easy, when you get to the base, I'll find you a flyer." Mustafa said generously.
Well, sure enough, the opportunity is to be won by yourself.
